In order to improve the quality of systematic researches, various tools have been developed by well-known scientific institutes sporadically. Dr. Nader Ale Ebrahim has collected these sporadic tools under one roof in a collection named “Research Tool Box”. The toolbox contains over 720 tools so far, classified in 4 main categories: Literature-review, Writing a paper, Targeting suitable journals, as well as Enhancing visibility and impact factor.

30% Research Impact (10% Number of citations in the last 11 years; 10% Number of citations in the last 2 years; 10% Average number of citations in the last 11 years)

50% Research Excellence
(20% h-index in last 2 years; 15% Number of Highly Cited papers in the
last 11 years; 15% Number of articles in the current year in high-impact
journals).

SIR - SCImago Institutions Rankings

O::Output - An institution's publication output reveals its scientific outcomes in terms of published documents in scholarly journals

IC::International Collaboration
- IC shows an institution's output ratio that has been produced in
collaboration with foreign institutions. The values are computed by
analyzing the institution's output whose affiliation includes more than
one country address over the whole period.

NI::Normalized Impact
- The values, expressed in percentages, show the relationship of an
institution's average scientific impact and the world average, which is
1, --i.e. a score of 0.8 means the institution is cited 20% below
average and 1.3 means the institution is cited 30% above average

Q1::High Quality Publications - Ratio of publications that an institution publishes in the most influential scholarly journals of the world

ER::Excellence Rate
- The Excellence Rate indicates which percentage of an institution’s
scientific output is included into the set formed by the 10% of the most
cited papers in their respective scientific fields. It is a measure of
high quality output of research institutions.
